brake drag - slight hum 200 88

posted by  someone claiming to be karl on  Mon Dec 11 09:39 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The right front brake grabs ever so slightly, making rhythmic, pseudo-sexual intermittent "humming" noise at speeds below 10mph. No evidence of grab, pull or early lock; plenty of stopping power. Rotor looks ok. Plenty of pad - fronts done <5k ago by previous owner. Can spin wheel fairly easily by hand when jacked-up, but stops a bit more quickly than it should. Have been driving it this way for >3k miles without problem, but what's causing it, and what can I do without major headache/resurfacing rotors etc? -

Thanks -
